February stands out

By Dieter Holger of ConsumerAffairs

Food recalls are on track for a quieter year in 2024, but grocery shoppers should be cautious about listeria.

There have been 578 food products recalled in the first six months of 2024, down sharplyfrom 1,271over the same period in 2023, according to a ConsumerAffairs analysis of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) data.

Mostof the biggest recalls of the year were in February and three of the most serious were triggered by a listeriaoutbreak stemming from a supplier of dairy ingredients.

The FDA categorizes food recalls into three categories based upon their danger to cause illness, with Class I being the most serious and Class III being the least serious. Common reasons for food recalls include Salmonella, Listeria and undeclared allergens such as eggs, wheat, soy and peanuts.

There have been 237 products recalled under Class I, 308 under Class II and 32 under Class III in the first six months of 2024. In the first half of 2023, there were 789 products recalled under Class I, 392 under Class II and 90 under Class III.

Consumer News: Here's the 10 biggest serious food recalls halfway into 2024

Companies often don't reportthe same units of recalled food, meaning quantities can sometimes be listed as pounds, cases or bottles. This makes it very difficult to accurately rank recalls by their quantity, which is why ConsumerAffairs instead reviewed the number of products recalled to produce this ranking.

When available, we still provided the quantity for each recall.ConsumerAffairs also focused on Class I recalls because they are the most dangerous. See our ranking below.

The 10 biggest serious food recalls in the first half of 2024

1. Danisco'sIngredients

Danscio, an ingredients giant owned by chemical firm IFF, recalled 36 productsin May totaling more than 593 tons of ingredients for creamer, dough, yogurt, iced coffee and other foods because of potential salmonella contamination.Food manufacturers use Danisco's ingredients, according to IFF's website. The 36 products shipped to 24 U.S. states, including California, Florida, Texas and New York.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting, but some forms of the bacteria can lead to more serious illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates there are around 1.35 million salmonella infections a year, with most coming from food.

In June, a spokesperson for Danisco-owner IFF told ConsumerAffairs the company's recall was triggered by an undisclosed supplier issuing its own recall and that testing has come up negative for salmonella, but customers are in the process of returning or destroying the products.

2. H&Natural's Dietary Supplement

Supplement provider H&Natural recalled 15 tejocote root products in February after an FDA inspection discovered they contained yellow oleander, a poisonous plant. It isn't an isolated incident: The FDA warned this year that various tejocote root supplements were getting substituted with yellow oleander.

At the time, the company said it had received one report of gastrointestinal illness, including internal bleeding. The products sold online nationwide, including on Amazon.com and Walmart.com. It is currently unknown how many supplements were sold, the FDA said.

3.Rizo-Lpez Foods's Dairy

Rizo-Lpez recalled 14 products totaling344 cases ofdairy products, including cheese, yogurtand sour cream in Februarybecause they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. They sold nationwide under various 13 brand names, including 365 Whole Foods Market,TioFrancisco and Rizo Bros. The FDA said the dairy waslinked to a national outbreak of listeria, which triggered other companies to issue their own recalls.

Listeria monocytogenes is a germ that is more likely to sicken the elderly, newborns and pregnant women and people with weak immune systems, causing serious and even life-threatening infections. Healthier individuals may suffer short-term symptoms such as fever, headaches, nausea and abdominal pain.An estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year and about 260 die, according to the CDC.

4. LQNN's Vietnamese Cakes

LQNN, a Vietnamese food maker, recalled 12 products totaling222,320 bags of Banh Ba Xa and varieties of Banh Pia pastriesin February because of an undeclared egg allergen. The pastries shipped to 32 states, including California, Texas and Florida, to wholesalers, retailers and online. No illnesses were reported at the time.

5. Grande Cheese's Whey Protein

Grande Cheese Company recalled 11 products and 1,726,910 pounds of whey protein, which is an ingredient for many kinds of foods,in May because of potential Salmonella contamination. The dairyproducts were shipped to 24 states, including California, New York and Texas.

6. Sargento Foods's Cheese

Sargento Foods recalled 11 products totaling10,498cases of shredded cheesein Februarybecause of potential listeria contamination. The products shipped to 15 states, including California, Florida and Texas.

In March, Sargento said the recall stemmed from supplierRizo-Lpez Food's recall. Sargento said the recall didn't affect Sargento-branded products,its own recall was out of "an abundance of caution" andit ended its business relationship withRizo-Lpez.

7. Belgian Yummies's Ice Cream

Belgian Yummies recalled sevenproducts totaling2,804 containers of gelato and ice cream sandwiches in Marchbecause of undeclared allegens of wheat, soy, egg, coconut andpeanuts. The deserts were distributed in Florida. No illnesses were reported at the time.

8. Reiser's Fine Foods's Dressing and Taco Kits

Resier's Fine Foods recalled sixproducts totaling124,971 cases of dressing or taco kits in Februarydue to potential listeria contamination. Like Sargento, therecall was triggered byRizo-Lpez because Resier's taco dressings contained ingredients from the supplier.

The taco kits or dressings went to retailers including Costco, Trader Joe's and Albertson's in 16states, including California, Florida and Texas.

9. Solata Foods's Spinach

Solata Foods recalled sixproducts totaling 4,382 pounds of bagged spinach in Junebecause of potential Listeria contamination. Under brand names including Gaia Organic, Full Circle Organicand Farmer Direct, the bagged spinach shipped to the states of New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire. New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors discovered the listeria contamination. No illnesses were reported at the time.

10. Dole's Salad Kits

Dole Fresh Vegetables recalled five products totaling 50,645 cases of salad kitsin Februarybecause of potential listeria contamination. Under the brands Dole, President's Choice and Marketside, the salad kits shipped to 25states, including California, Florida and New York. No illnesses were reported at the time.
